WOL targets local subnet only #86

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure a Frontend in another Subnet
2. Press WOL button
3. Nothing happens

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect the Frontend to wake up, instead this doesn't happen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Current Version from playstore on android (Samsung Galaxy S3, cynaogenmod)

Please provide any additional information below.
I have two different Subnets on my lan. 192.168.40.0/255 for my mobile devices 
and 192.168.81.0/255 for my computers. My phone sits in the former subnet and 
has the ip address 192.168.40.52, my frontend sits in the latter subnet and has 
192.168.81.102.
If my frontend is running, I can control it with mythmote. When the machine is 
off, I can't because mythmote targets the WOL packet to 192.168.40.255 / port 
7000 udp. I would expect mythmote to target the packet to 192.168.81.255 / port 
7000 udp. This way it could reach my frontend.

Alternative solution: just broadcast to 255.255.255.255? This is what the wol command on my Linux box does.
